Generally agree with you. I do think he has some value, just not in the traditional winger sense. He does put a shift in and is usually pretty diligent at helping out his full back. I also reckon over the last few games with him and Foley wide the teams we have played have shut his side down a lot more, while giving a bit more space to Foley, probably thinking they can get back at him due to his lack of pace. I thought it was noticeable against southend that Hoskins got more space when Berto came on.
I don't think he is a winger though, his best position is behind the striker imo. Obviously he is behind O'Toole for that role but I wouldn't mind seeing him play behind Van Veen with O'Toole deeper in some games.
i think hoskins is way down the list on playing anywhere central for us.
